i have no ability to reason this out.
you are distancing yourself from a fire that grows
large and bright
in a dark forest of fear
where are you tonight
you should be right here.
how comfortable we can become
in skin so uneasy
you aren’t just anyone
so don’t speak to appease me
just spill your soul
here on my lap
i don’t want to be consoled
i only want you to tap
into this spirit possessing you so
let me come near it
i’m testing you, you know
can you rise to the occasion
or shrivel in your place
these flames are what we make them
so just welcome the warmth on your face
i will keep burning
lonesome in these trees
and the ashes are overturning
so come and burn with me
or turn and walk down paths cold
that you know end where they began
before my invitation grows old
i pray you realize that you can
feel so much more than the endless night
driving you to pieces
when you’re ready, look for my light
it simply never ceases.
